Rainbow connection lyrics

Why are there so many songs about rainbowsAnd what's on the other side?Rainbows are visions, but only illusionsAnd rainbows have nothing to hideSo we've been told, and some choose to believe itI know they're Reed full lyricswrong, wait and seeSomeday we'll find it, the rainbow connectionThe lovers, the dreamers, and me

Who said that wishes would be heard and answeredWhen wished on the morning star?Somebody thought of that, and someone believed itLook what it's done so farWhat's so amazing that keeps us stargazingAnd what do we think we might see?Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connectionThe lovers, the dreamers, and me

Have you been sleeping, and have you heard voices?I've heard them calling my nameIs this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?The voice might be one and the sameI've heard it too many times to ignore itIt's something that I'm supposed to beSomeday we'll find it, the rainbow connectionThe lovers, the dreamers, and me
